Color4Nails Presents piCture pOlish: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hey guys! I have a few new piCture pOlish to share today, courtesy of Color4Nails. Look for these, along with the large selection of other piCture pOlish (along with a ton of other brands) in Color4Nails's shop.

piCture pOlish Bluebird

Two coats

Periwinkle blue with holographic shimmer and violet sparks

This polish was created in collaboration with Kelli Marissa. In Kelli's words... Sometimes it’s easy to forget the beauty of nature. The bluebird’s song is a humbling reminder that we are just a small part in this great and incredible world.

I loved everything about this polish. Kelli is a nail artist that I admire greatly and her inspiration was so spot on with the final result. The shimmer is gorgeous against the periwinkle color.

piCture pOlish Gala

Two coats

Dusky violet with scattered holographic pigment

Part of the Opulence line

One of the tricky shades of purple, for me it looks more like an indigo polish rather than a straight up purple. I love the scattered holo flakes, they are actually quite easy to remove, not at all like holographic micro-glitter. Two coats for coverage.

piCture pOlish Merge

Three coats

Gray/brown with scattered holographic pigment

Part of the Opulence line

Depending on your lighting and skin tone, this may appear more brown than gray, for me it was a cooler toned taupe brown. The flakes add some sparkle but despite that, the color is not something I reach for that often. For this one, I needed three thin coats for coverage.

piCture pOlish Posey

Two coats

Baby pink scatter holographic with holo hex glitter

Part of the Opulence line

Light and pretty without being twee to me. I like the bits of larger glitter pieces in the base. This is a nicely self-leveling polish so I just need two coats for coverage. And while those scattered flakes are easier to remove, with the larger glitter hexes with require a bit more removal effort.

piCture pOlish Spring

Two coats

Barbie pink with scattered holographic pigment

Part of the Opulence line

This is my favorite of the five, it's has a bit of lilac in the coloring and that scattered holo finish is wonderful. Same thinner style formula and two coats for coverage.

When I applied Spring, I knew that for my nail art look, I had to do something floral. So here is a simple floral design I did using Spring and Gala as well as white dot accents.
